Alfred A. Hart's "Road East of Station, at Auburn" is a stereograph, a type of photograph meant to be viewed through a stereoscope to create a 3D effect. This 19th-century image depicts a section of the Central Pacific Railroad in California. Hart's stereographs, often featuring scenes of the American West, documented the landscape and its transformation during the Industrial Revolution, providing viewers with a glimpse into the rapidly changing world of the time.
